I have so much laundry!!!!! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (4732)   ranked 7 out of 300 in wash clothes8 months ago

With 3 teenagers at home, and our washing machines downstairs in in - laws part of the house, doing the laundry really is a pain.
WHen we bought the house with them, they had a washer and a dryer, so we all used them. Then when they broke down we were the ones buying them, which was fair since we had used theirs as well.
But I have too much laundry. It's five of us up here. Downstairs it's only my mother and father in law.
The problem is that she will do a full machine with only a hand towel if needed. And whenever I go to do my laundry she's always using the machines.
So I have to wait, and by the time she's done it's too late already.
Laundry keeps accumulating and accumulating and it's never done!
Of course it doesn't help that the kids - specially the girls - use something for one hour and then change and put whatever they wore for on hour in the laundry basket - that is overflowing already.
Katt sometimes does the laundry. But there is so much it seems it will never be all done grrrrrr
I"m not asking questions this time, just venting because I went to the girls room and saw an overflowing laundry basket, a few full outfits half on the sofa half on the floor, and a bunch of other clothes underneath the bed.
I know I can tell them that I won't do any more laundry for them, but what's the point? They will keep more and more dirty clothes in the room, and then when they want something that is not washed they will do a load just for that, and still the majority of stuff will be there to wash....
DO you ever get so tired of some chores that you just feel like not doing it at all?

Laundry is one of those things that it seems never gets done. I hate doing laundry. My kids are only 8 and 15 months and I have enough laundry with them. I cannot imagine what it will be like when they are teenagers.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (4732)   ranked 7 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

THink nightmare LOL
I think I could get ahead a bit more if I could do it when I needed, but having to wait for my mother in law makes things more complicated, specially since every time I decide to do the laundry she seems to be doing it as well LOL and it's only 2 of them against5 of us:)

No I happen to be one person who loves to wash clothing. I would say you could organize the washing and set a time to wash in the public washer. I would hate to share my washer with others. I wash here around 2am and it's perfect for me. I wash white socks in one load. Being we have tons of white socks. I do my daughters clothing one day. The towels may be in the same day as her clothing. I hope your getting it down to a reasonable amount soon.



myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (4732)   ranked 7 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

I actually tend to enjoy every chore that involves water, but in this case I am just feeling I can't win:)
2 am would be perfect for me too, but I can't because I don't want to make noise when my in laws are asleep.
I won't used the laundromat because we were the ones who paid for those machines, I can't be spending money outside.
THe major problem is that no matter what we agree on, it seems that she has a radar and every time I decide to do our laundry she is there doing hers - even if she agreed on doing it on another day.
Can't win LOL

i dont like doing laundry not even on my happy days lol. i was one day and the very next day the hamper is literaly full agian with clothes and im pulling my hair out saying to the kids i ust did laundry. i have a washing machine in the house but i dont have a dryer so i find myself washing and drying at the laundromat and that is the worst it's full of people and u have to race for washers and dryers, thier just has to be an easier way to do laundry lol.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (4732)   ranked 7 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

I know the feeling. It seems that as soon as I finally get things done and put away, the kids already filled out the hamper again.
I really can't afford the laundromat,specially after spending so much money on the machines two years ago.

We're only 4 left in the family, my other siblings got married and moved away. My brother and my sister are just too lazy to do their laundry, and they're already in their 20s! My mother usually do the laundry for them. But of course, I feel bad for mother washing all their dirty clothings.. she's already old. She should be resting and watching tv and not doing laundry for those grown-ups who are strong enough to do it themselves!

What I did before is just leave their clothings, I'd only washed mine and mother's. But when I do, mother would always wash their clothes. Aahh.. mothers.. they spoiled their kids. lolz!

Since there are basketfuls of dirty laundry, I usually handwash a handful of 'em during weekdays [hey, am saving electricity!^^]. and the rest, I'd wash them all on Sunday.

But..

I am mostly tired coming from work that I cannot at least, lessen the laundry. I would usually wash all on Sunday and gosh.. I'd spent the whole day washing.=(


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (4732)   ranked 7 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

Most week days I am quite tired too. I don't have energy to do laundry. But as you say, on the weekend I will spend at least a whole day doing it.

I know what you mean about never getting caught up with 3 teen agers and Them changing clothes about as fast as the laundry is done. I finely made them do their own laundry which created a new set of problems. Maybe you and your M-I-L could work out a schedule as far as the laundry is concerned. I had to set one up for my girls to keep peace in the house. They couldn't even wash their clothes together. There is nothing like teenagers to keep life interesting and challenging


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (4732)   ranked 7 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

LOL living with teenagers:)
I worked out many schedules with her, but it seems that she - with only two people in the house - always has radar that knows when I need to do laundry and suddenly has an emergency.. grrrr
See she wanted us to take our laundry there and do it herself. I don't want that. It would give her an excuse to come up here any time she wants. I think that's why she always has something when I want to use the machines - she keeps reminding me that she can do ours.


myLot reputation of 97/100. deebomb (7287)   ranked 63 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

I wouldn't want any one else doing my laundry ether. Maybe she just wants to be needed. When Our kids grow up and don't need us any more we feel useless.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (4732)   ranked 7 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

I'm afraid with her it's more the opportunity to come over here and go trough everything. She used to come and change everything in my drawers and when she liked something she would take it.


myLot reputation of 97/100. deebomb (7287)   ranked 63 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

I understand how you feel then. I wouldn't want her to do my laundry ether.

Yes Twin I do at times
Just one question does your MIL realise that she is wasting Electric doing Laundry like that and could she not pick different Days to do hers and could the washer not be upstairs with you as she should not have a lot of Laundry to do with her and her Husband
Do you she makes me so mad with how she treats you if I was closer she would have had a piece of my mind by now believe me the selfish ignorant horrible ........ person
Hugs to you


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (4732)   ranked 7 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

Of course she does... but we're the one paying for it remember? LOL
I have no space for the machines here, or I would get a set just for us.
She's a bully, but it was our choice to agree with buying the house together, now we have to work with it.


myLot reputation of 93/100. gabs8513 (17736)   ranked 121 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

Sweetie I wish something would be done no wonder you are struggling
I know what cut their electric until they pay
Just theirs switch it of

I know what you mean, why don't you get a new washing machine, I would have if it was such a big problem. And if its upstairs you save yourself the hassle of taking the laundry basket all the way down and may be teach your girls to put all their washing in the machine and then just zip zap and go, gal. I think thats the only solution to your trouble-you do need a seprate washing machine and take my advice buy a fully automatic one only.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (4732)   ranked 7 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

I would do that in a flash if I had the space for it, believe me. I have been thinking about it for quite a while, but I just can't find the space to put it. What is a fully automatic one?


myLot reputation of 89/100. mansha (4213)   ranked 128 out of 300 in wash clothes  1 month ago

In India we have two kinds of machines one that have sperate wash tub and seprate spin tubs in them we have to manually transfer clothes after a wash to spin tub they are great if you have water scarcity in the area and no running water but require a lot of work while in fully automatic machine eveything happens in one tub and you just put clothes and washing powder in the machine and fix it to the pipeline which has continuous supply of water and just relax til clothes get washed and spin dry thats it.

I hate laundry. I have a baby myself and my finacee, it seems like once I get it done its right back like that in the same day. I dont change clothing twice daily, and the baby does sometimes. I have no idea how it even gets like that . Well I do because I dont have a washer and dryer hookup in my apartment. If I did I feel like it wouldnt be like that. Normally I get to it once a week and its a ll day job!


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (4732)   ranked 7 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

Myself I don't even hate doing laundry. It's with water, which is usually the type of chore I enjoy, but having this much is really getting to me.
I think that the easier it is to get to it, and that we can do it when we decide to, the less problems we have doing it. So I think that if you did have a washer and dryer hookup in your apartment it would probably be easier for you to do it.

One thing we all should remember is that household chores are never ending story. Today one has finished doing the laundry but tomorrow there another basket full of dirty laundry waiting for us to wash. Sometimes I get so bored of doing the same thing everyday that I will deliberately accumulate the laundry for days. And then, I will just send them to the laundry mart. It save me time but it cost me money!


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (4732)   ranked 7 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

I know! Isn't that awful?:)
NO matter what, even when we finish everything, there will always be more.
Sometimes I wish I could have a break where I didn't have to do the same thing over and over again, day after day after day grrrrr:)

That is one of the bonuses of being pregnant I cant do the laundrt hehehe. My family is doing them for me as I cant be lifting the baskets up the stairs. But I do hate laundry it is so time comsuming.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (4732)   ranked 7 out of 300 in wash clothes  8 months ago

ENjoy it while it lasts:):)
Hubby used to help me by taking the baskets downstairs, but then I would have to go down to actually do it. Then when he came back from work he would take the baskets with the done laundry back up.
He still does that now, very often. But most times he takes them down to bring them back up because his mother is using the machines.
